A theatrical and community event that represents and celebrates Black women as complex and resilient people. BWSOTU promotes greater understanding of Black women’s significant contributions to the world through performance, visual arts, community events, and media. BWSOTU artists aim to use this platform to empower Black women to love and honor themselves, and to help them self-identify as dynamic, expressive, and nurturing contributors to society. BWSOTU artists communicate and express themselves to help Black women embrace the characteristics that make each of them different and unique--today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

Productions of Color An acting troupe dedicated to the representation of people of color in the performing arts. Our productions and projects will reflect our mission of empowerment of people of color as a counter to the mainstream media and forms of acting we are regularly exposed to. We work with original works by students, as well as reclaim published works. Open to all experience levels and interests both on and off stage.
